factory robots

Automated manufacturing workers

Factory robots are automated machines used in manufacturing to perform repetitive tasks like welding, assembly, painting, or material handling.

They range from simple mechanical arms to sophisticated systems with sensors and programming that adapt to varying conditions.

The term usually implies industrial-scale automation: Factory robots have replaced many assembly line workers.

Unlike humanoid robots of science fiction, most factory robots are stationary units designed for specific operations.
